"New Directions in Identity Theory and Research has twenty-three chapters that address new theoretical, methodological, and substantive work in identity theory in sociological social psychology. The work emerged out of a 2014 national conference that brought together researchers who were working in different but interrelated strands of identity theory: the perceptual control and social structural programs. One goal of the conference was to more fully integrate these research programs, thus creating a more unified theory moving forward. A second goal of the conference was to honor and continue to develop the scholarly contributions of Peter J. Burke upon his retirement. His significant contributions to social psychology and his development of identity theory leave a rich set of ideas for the next generation of scholars. The work in this volume from over thirty-five scholars presents a wide array of research on such issues as the neurological processing of identities, identity change, racial/ethnic identities, stigmatized identities, identities and emotions, and identities in our digital age."

"Research Directions in Distributed Parameter Systems is composed of eleven chapters, written by experts in their respective fields, on topics ranging from control of the Navier-Stokes equations to nondestructive evaluation all of which are modeled by distributed parameters systems. Written by the plenary speakers for the Conference on Future Directions in Distributed Parameter Systems (October 2000), the volume addresses the state of the art, open questions, and important research directions in applications modeled by partial differential equations and delay systems, with the ultimate goal of passing along these perspectives to researchers in the field.This book compiles a broad range of material, much of which is available only in research journals. Its goal is to disseminate to the research community the perspectives and challenges posed for a variety of current research applications. Topics include electromagnetic theory for dielectric and conductive materials, flow control, cardiovascular and respiratory models, homogenization and systems theory, optimal and geometric control, reduced-order models for large-scale systems, smart materials, and nondestructive evaluation and structural health monitoring for systems, including nuclear power plants. A unifying theme throughout the book focuses on the necessity of considering model development, numerical approximation, parameter estimation through inverse problem techniques, and control design in concert to achieve the stringent design criteria dictated by present applications."
